2019 Volkswagen Passat Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Volkswagen Passat, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Passat has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Passat, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2019 Volkswagen Passat!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Volkswagen, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Passat running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2019 Volkswagen Passat problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2019 Volkswagen Passat and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Passat’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2019 Volkswagen Passat be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Volkswagen Passat battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Passat stranded. Your Volkswagen Passat won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2019 Volkswagen Passat engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2019 Passat.

Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2019 Volkswagen Passat.
